Probably the thing I'm most impressed about is the sumo deadlift I did last month. 585 for 11. I'm 37 and this was 3 more reps than I did when I was serious about being stupid 7 years ago. The olympic lifting has actually made more stronger.

got my chin about 2-3 below the bar in a one-arm pullup attempt, after having 3 drinks, and my only warm-up being some serious reggae dancing.

i've been doing gymnastics training to prepare for climbing season (front lever progressions, weighted ring PUs) but i honestly think that the alcohol had something to do with it too. possibly the lowered inhibition. i don't really know how to explain it.

David-my one armed chin is still a year off if ever I am just to the point where I can control the first 3-5 inches of the negative portion, then I start accelerating down... Although maybe I'll try a couple of drink and dancing first, you never know

Did you possibly have people watching? I know any time I'm messing around with dunking, I get probably an inch and a half higher with an audience. Around three inches higher if there are attractive women in the group.

yeah, arden...you're the man. when the apocalypse comes and we have to fight off the zombies, i want you in my band of zombie-slayers.

All those ax/chainsaw skills of his will actually be functional!

Ok you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?
